Sigh, I really liked them both before, and I longed for love because of them.
[I watched them make delicious food late at night, and I even got hungry from watching for so long that I spent a fortune ordering over 100 yuan worth of barbecue on a certain platform. The next day, I weighed myself and found I had gained three pounds.]
You're such a glutton!
To lose these three pounds, I ate vegetarian food for several days afterward (crying.jpg)
"The third divination, drawing lots." Jiang Yuan glanced at what the viewers were saying on the public screen and slowly began to speak.
When it came to the lottery, everyone stopped joking and started to get serious.
Finally, the signature stopped on a scarecrow head, with the ID "Fatty".
"Is Fatty there?" Jiang Yuan asked.
After a while, the girl called Fatty gave Jiang Yuan a tip and joined the live stream at Jiang Yuan's invitation.
Just like her name suggests, the person on the microphone was a chubby and cute little girl.
She has round cheeks, not very fair skin, and crescent-shaped eyes. She looks like an honest but cute type.
"Host, I want to... I want to ask where my grandfather is now." Before Jiang Yuan could ask, Gou Suxin spoke first, her brows furrowed with worry.
“My grandfather has Alzheimer’s disease, which comes and goes. The day before yesterday, he climbed over the iron gate and went out when we weren’t looking.”
“He ran out around noon, when the sun was shining and all the neighbors were inside, so they didn’t see where he went.”
“We reported him to the police, posted missing person notices, and called our relatives, but they all said he didn’t come to their place and we still haven’t found him.”
Gou Suxin continued, her voice trembling as she spoke, as if she were about to cry at any moment.
This shows how deep her relationship with her grandfather was.
Some feelings can be faked, but genuine feelings cannot be faked.
My grandmother also has Alzheimer's disease and likes to go out. My mother quit her job to stay home and take care of her so she could keep an eye on her at all times.
Good heavens, still haven't found them? Looks like they're in the countryside; you should know everyone there.
[Yes, in the countryside, you're surrounded by uncles and aunts; most of them are acquaintances. Even during the hottest part of the day, there should still be people on the road.]
“All the young people in our village have left, leaving behind mostly elderly people. The elderly usually take a midday nap and don’t go out much.” As netizens were discussing this, a man with a tanned face and wrinkles appeared next to Gou Suxin. He hurriedly explained in his local dialect.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that Gou Suxin's appearance bears some resemblance to his, especially her crescent-shaped eyes.
It's obvious at a glance that they are father and daughter.
"Master Jiang, do you know where Xin Xin's grandfather is?" Gou Quangui asked anxiously, looking at Jiang Yuan in front of the screen.
His father went missing from their house. His brothers blamed him for not keeping an eye on him, and said that if anything happened to their father, they would hold him accountable if they lost their father.
He truly regretted it; he shouldn't have left his father in the yard or gone inside to prepare pig feed.
He thought the door was locked and no one could get out, but when he went out to the yard after finishing feeding the pigs, he found that the person was gone. He was so scared that he almost lost his mind.
His three brothers and sister rushed over overnight when they heard that their father was missing, demanding that he return.
If his father is never found, he will be the eternal sinner of the Gou family. Even if he dies, he will have no face to face his ancestors.
We reported it to the police, asked the whole village to help search, and asked relatives to keep an eye out, but we still couldn't find him.
They searched the nearby mountains with their men, but there was no sign of them.
Such a grown man, it's like he just suddenly disappeared.
There are no cameras or surveillance cameras in the village, so it's impossible to find anyone.
“I know,” Jiang Yuan replied.
Gou Suxin and Gou Quangui asked in unison, "Where!"
“Your grandfather is in the cesspool near your second uncle’s house,” Jiang Yuan replied.
The father and daughter looked at each other, stunned.
【Huh? Where? A cesspool?】
Did it fall into the cesspool?
Falling into a cesspool is quite common in rural areas. In my mother's village, an old man once fell into a cesspool and wasn't found for several days. When he was found, he was covered in excrement and had already died.
What is a cesspool? It doesn't sound like a nice word.
[You can tell at a glance that this person grew up in the city. Nowadays, we flush our excrement down the drain, but in the past, rural areas didn't have that kind of infrastructure or toilets. They would build a cesspool to collect the excrement, and when it was full, they would use buckets to collect it and use it as fertilizer to water their vegetables.]
There's an even older type of latrine pit, built on the outside, with a wall around it and a huge pit in the middle. If you were in a hurry while doing farm work, you could relieve yourself in there. These pits still exist in my hometown village. Every time I walk past them, I can smell the stench coming from inside. There are lots of flies and stinky plants, but nobody uses them anymore.
“There is a cesspool near my second uncle’s house, but my second uncle has covered it with an iron plate. My cousin came back earlier this year and almost fell into the pit. My second uncle was afraid that someone would actually fall in, so he bought an iron plate to cover it up.”
"That iron plate was quite big; it was difficult to lift it. How did my grandpa fall into it?"
Gou Suxin asked, puzzled.
When asked, she had already stood up with her phone in hand.
Gou Quangui also packed his things and prepared to go check out the cesspool near his second brother.
